The net result of four years of high
license in Illinois, according to the
message of the governor, is that one
fifth of the saloons have been closed
the number having been reduced from
1901 to 2, $50; and the saloons which
remain yield the state three times as
much revenue as was realized from the
whole number under the old low

these troubles must, from necessity, be in

internally, and as proof that this is the
correct principle, it cures surely and quick

cured ought to convince the incredulous.

upon many of the streams in the Ter

cut down and was lying indisclimi-

1t had been left to rot, while small
proportion of the trees only were used
in building houses and dams. A
special agent was at once sent all the
way to Montana to investigate the
matter, who, upon Inquiry, was in

the work of the beavers, lone Of the
